An interesting blog over the past year and a bit has been one called 37 languages (37languages.wordpress.com), which has traced the story of a person through 37 languages, not to learn them all but simply to get a taste of each one before making a decision on which one to study in detail. At long last he finally made a decision a few days ago and the language is...here.

More interesting than the choice of language for me will be to see if it's possible to make the switch from trying out one language after another to really focusing on one, as the mindset required for one is radically different from the other. But making such a public declaration can probably only help matters.
